ReapraySame as AUS .
You can import a KATANA ffs.
Anyway there are major changes coming to Oz in regards to blade imports..... Things should be much more leniant in the next few months from what I understand.
ReaprayEvery single fixed blade should be international shipping. There is no country which has issues with fixed blades, only countries which have issues with folding knives because they are afraid of the knife being automatic/spring flip. That being said, any knife that is a manual flip (like Spyderco paramilitary for an example) should also be able to ship internationally.
ehloHey @flavespo and @ehlo and the many other members who've said the same...
We feel the same way, and we are working on it. The problem is not necessarily only the laws governing import to certain countries, but carriers' willingness to ship these packages. We are looking at solutions that would enable us to ship knives internationally, but that involves 1) finding and 2) engineering a solution that addresses different knives, different countries, and potentially different carriers on an individual basis.
Thanks for reminding us that it's important to you. We hear you and hope to have good news soon.
JonasHeinemanWish there was some way we could help you guys out, the laws for Canada, for example, are amazingly simple.
They seem like they get a little tricky for folding knives, but there are literally 2 tests you can do to see if the knife is legal here, and they're super simple.
I'd almost suggest you just put a "know the knife laws in your territory" disclaimer on things and shove the responsibility into the hands of the people ordering.
If you want any help, let me know, I doubt it would be a three page document.
It's just a real shame to see a drop like this go by without being able to get in on it.
